When Do the Judges Require the Interlock?
Judges are required to order the installation of the interlock machine on subsequent DWI offenses in Texas. Also, most Harris County, Texas judges order the machine to be installed when there is an accident involved in the criminal case. The most annoying part of this is that they do this regardless of who caused the accident or if the person accused is guilty or not of the DWI. What ever happened to being presumed innocent?
Luckily, not all Texas judges act this way. This practice is not common in Fort Bend County, Texas. It has been my experience that a person arrested in cities of Sugar Land, Missouri City, or Richmond fair much better then someone arrested for DWI in Houston.
